Roxy Jacenko has revealed her relationship with Nabil Gazal was more than just the ‘drunk kiss’ on his balcony in April, while her husband Oliver Curtis was in jail.
In a tell-all interview, the 37-year-old detailed the extent of their tryst, claiming Nabil reached to her shortly after her breast cancer diagnosis in July last year.
‘I was in my most vulnerable state. It was the toughest time of my life,’ she explained to The Daily Telegraph on Saturday.

In July 2016, eight days after husband Oliver Curtis was sentenced to a year in prison for insider trading, the Sweaty Betty PR founder was diagnosed with breast cancer.
According to the publication, Sydney property developer Nabil reached out to Roxy, who he’d previously dated, ‘days’ after her diagnosis.
It was at that point their romance rekindled, the PR maven revealed, with the mother-of-two spending ‘several nights a week,’ with Nabil.

‘Yes there was a relationship and I am not going to deny it,’ she told the publication on Saturday.
The former lovers were spotted out for dinner in late 2016 and then shock waves emanated in April this year, after the pair were photographed kissing on his balcony.
Roxy also revealed that their rekindled romance lasted until just days before Oliver was released from Cooma Correction Centre in June this year.

The reason for Nabil and Roxy’s was a huge fight, she revealed, at which point she returned a heart-shaped ring he’d given her.
‘He was someone who was familiar to me, I was in a very bad place. Yes, we were together,’ she confirmed.
‘You have to remember, my husband went to jail, my marriage was not intact, I had breast cancer and a friend (Nabil) at the time, reached out.’

She insisted that it was Nabil who reached out to her, adding that now, with Oliver out of jail and their romance thriving, she realises he’s a great husband and father.
Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Roxy for comment.
Back after photographs of the balcony kiss surfaced in April, Roxy told news.com.au: ‘We were stupid (but) that’s where it starts and that’s where it stops.’

She added rhat the kiss was ‘stupid’ and that they were mucking around.
Upon his release, News Corp claimed Oliver had told an in-mate he was prepared to forgive his wife for any indiscretions, if she could forgive him for the mistakes that put him in jail.
